We brew Fluxus every year to commemorate the anniversary of our first beer sold in July 1995. The name Fluxus is Latin for continuous change. Every year, Fluxus is brewed with a different recipe. This year’s Fluxus is brewed with our base malt, malted rye, and malted wheat, then hopped with noble hops before fresh ginger root is added in the whirlpool. Following fermentation, the beer is partially aged in oak gin barrels previously used for Barr Hill Tom Cat Gin. The result is a highly aromatic saison with overtones of ginger and botanicals, a hint of vanilla in the flavor, and a vibrant finish. ABV: 8.5%

Aventinus, the world’s oldest top-fermenting wheat doppelbock, was created in 1907 at the Weisses Brauhaus in Munich using “bottle-conditioning” where fresh yeast and malt are added to the bottle to induce secondary fermentation. Pale, crystal and dark malts are employed for this double-fermented wheat beer. It has received topmost commendations for its perfect balance of two complex layers of flavors – the fruity spiciness brought in by the top-fermenting yeast and the notes of chocolate created by the use of crystal and dark malts. ABV: 8.0%

In late January of this year, we brewed a rich Imperial Stout and decided to let it condition in previously used Heaven Hill and Wild Turkey bourbon barrels. After 8 loving weeks kissing that beautiful oak, we’re pleased to announce the release of Swarthy Invader. This stout is now showing classic flavors of oaky vanilla, dark chocolate, gentle coffee, and caramel-bourbon. Dark, thick, and as swarthy as they come! ABV: 9.6%

Natural ginger, a splash of bitters, and a hint of lime makes for an unforgettable Moscow Mule. We mix in our exceptionally smooth, award-winning Fugu Vodka and the party really gets started. Spicy, sweet, bitter, and tart. Enjoy it straight from our copper-colored can. ABV: 7.0%

Sometimes a hint of bitterness can be sweet, which is the case with this refreshing citrus cocktail. We start with our exceptionally smooth, award-winning Fugu Vodka, then add just the right touch of grapefruit to our unique house-made soda. It’s a spirited cocktail that will take you places. ABV: 7.0%

Cool, fresh, and effervescent, our Cucumber Vodka Soda is a new take on the classic cocktail. We start with our exceptionally smooth, award-winning Fugu Vodka, then add just a hint of cucumber to our unique house-made soda. It’s a refreshing cocktail that will take you places. ABV: 7.0%

The first Hawaiian Luau in 1819 bucked tradition while maintaining respect for a rich legacy, so when we set out to create this namesake IPA, we found our own way to rebel against restrictive limits of known brewing ingredients while honoring Dogfish’s brewing tradition. What began as an exploration of all things hazy and pale, Lupu-Luau morphed into a coconut-centric IPA. We combined Pils malt with flaked barley, rolled oats, and malted and raw wheat to bring the haze. Then we brought coconut to the party in 3 different ways with toasted coconut, dehydrated coconut water and an experimental hop variety that provides a unique coconut & woody aromas. ABV: 7.3%

This saison holds a thick, frothy head over it’s beautiful effervescent amber body as it pours into a (suggested) tulip glass. Its scent calls up images of sweet-and-tart candies, citrus, apple and spices like clove and cinnamon. The flavor is sweet, but not overly so, with clove, malt, and apple at the front, and a peppery finish. It’s a smooth, medium-bodied drink with plenty of carbonation to keep it snappy and refreshing. Gigi’s is a beer best enjoyed slowly, so one can enjoy the flavors at different temperatures. ABV: 7.2%

The only precedent for our Brewhouse Rarities series of small-batch releases lies in the immortal words of the Good Doctor Hunter S. Thompson: “Too weird to live, too rare to die.” Summer was made for baseball and picnics. Pair this with a grilled hot dog and a side of America’s pastime, or load up that picanic basket with red grapes, Wensleydale blueberry cheese, and summer sausage. ABV: 5.2%

The lemon is present. Put that Cedar-Planked Salmon on display and end the night with a slice of Raspberry cheesecake. If you’re looking for something lighter, slice up a Granny Smith apple and add Midnight Moon goat cheese. Choosing from the most rare and interesting varieties, our genius team of brewers is releasing four Single Hop Imperial IPAs in 2017. Like a delicious science experiment, each has the same grist bill to highlight the individual hop variety. ABV: 8.0%

Optimizing the flavor of fresh raspberries, Rubaeus is Founders’ way of celebrating the joys of summer year-round. This stunning berry-red masterpiece is the perfect blend of sweet, tart and refreshing. No question about it, this beer is 100% Founders. ABV: 5.7%

Brewed with dried orange peel and coriander, this spicy ale was created by the Trappist monks at Scourmont Abbey in Belgium to pair with their evening meals. Now, for the first time since 1862, the monks are making their “table beer” available outside of the monastery. Savor with meals large and small. ABV: 4.8%

A gluten free American Pale Ale brewed with buckwheat, rice, and corn. This instant classic is a delicious and satisfying beer that can be enjoyed by everyone, including those with gluten sensitivities. ABV: 5.3%

Observers of yestercentury once doubted the existence of the Dark Swan, stating the fair-feathered fowl was the only color of its kind. Explorers eventually upended that theory, shocking the world and shining light on the Dark. This beer might just do the same. It’s a sour ale fermented with dark red wine grapes, giving it its uniquely deep and rich purple hue. Then it received the signature Lagunitas treatment with a healthy dose of experimental dry hops. This might just shock your taste buds! There just really isn’t anything else like the Dark Swan… it’s a dark purple hybrid ale the takes our house yeast and feeds it some Petite Sirah grapes to munch on. It’s smooth, slightly sour, and superbly strange. Give it a taste, if you dare! ABV: 8.5%

The history of the bible and religion is indeed the struggle of good vs. evil. Our Serpent’s Stout recognizes the evil of the dark side that we all struggle with. This is a massively thick and opaque beer that begs the saints to join the sinners in their path to a black existence. ABV: 11.0%

Framboise de Amorosa is our first foray into the world of raspberry beers. It begins as Lost and Found ale and is sent into freshly emptied red wine barrels. The beer spends over a year in the wood during which time it is spiked with three additions of raspberries. ABV: 7.0%

Our seasonal Double IPA, Hop 15 has a blend of 15 different domestic and imported varieties of hops added every 15 minutes. Huge fresh hop resins with pine and citric aromas countered with notes of malt character. Winner of two silvers at the Great American Beer Festival as well as many other awards, Hop 15 remains one of our most sought after beer. ABV: 10.0%

A tribute beer brewed to honor the memory of our fallen soldier Columbus (nicknamed Mongo) who used each of his 9 lives in his short (but brazen) ten months on this planet. Mongo begins with a massive resinous aroma created by the judicious use of Columbus, Amarillo and Cascade hops. The initial taste reveals notes of Orange, Mango and citrus fruits with a piney bitterness and hoppy spice with some mild malt flavors on the finish. ABV: 8.5%

The Glutenberg Gose can be qualified as a sour beer, a type of beer that has gained overwhelming popularity in the world of craft brewing. Its lime and lemon aromas are enriched by the floral and fruity profile of Mandarina Bavaria hops and by a touch of acidity resulting from lactobacilli fermentation. Finally, a pinch of sea salt gives the Gose sweet and salty notes, resulting in a tangy beer with a dry and bold finish. ABV: 3.5%

Our tropical twist on an American Style wheat ale. Created by fermenting with coconuts and pineapples, then aged on toasted coconut flakes yeilding a light-colored dessert beer that’s sweet, smooth, and malty. ABV: 5.5%

This ain’t no just-add-juice approach. This one is for adults. We use bountiful whole tangerine purée, which brings pithy, crisp bitterness to the citrus flavor. In addition to the complexities of the tangerine — the likes of which you can only get by using the whole fruit — we judiciously employ just a hint of whole pineapple for a backnote (you’d likely not even pick it out of the mix if we didn’t tell you it was there). We’re not looking for a sweet concoction to appease the “I want my beer to taste like fruit juice” crowd. This is Stone. We like our IPAs to taste like IPAs. Big, bold and not for kids. ABV: 6.7%

A classic light bodied Saison flavored with a generous whirlpool of Mosaic hops and conditioned on 10lbs/barrel of Blackberries, creating a bright, hazy, farmhouse ale. Smooth and easy to drink, perfect for a hot summer day! ABV: 5.8%

Hullaballo, 1/6 kegs & 1/2 kegs

The uproar of east coast versus west coast IPA’s can be deafening. This aptly named IPA combines classic West Coast bittering featuring Columbus and Simcoe with East Coast focus on hop flavor. Featuring a large whirlpool of Simcoe, El Dorado and Cascade, and dry hopped with over 15lbs of Simcoe, Citra, El Dorado and Cascade, Hullabaloo features a nose of floral and citrus with flavors of peach, berry and earthiness on the finish. ABV: 7.0%

We set out to make a bold monument for The King of the Pumpkins! This is the mother of all pumpkin ales. It is heartier, spicier and more “caramelly” and “pumpkiny” than its faint brethren! We have added lots of pumpkin along with cinnamon, nutmeg and a touch of cardamom and clove, giving this beer a spicy, full-bodied flavor. This truly is an Imperial Pumpkin Ale. Perfect finisher on a cool autumn night or match it up with a slice of pumpkin pie and fresh whipped cream. ABV: 8.0%
